Some Nigerian pilgrims have been stranded as a result of shortage of tents in Saudi Arabia.
This development comes in a few hours to the second day of the Hajj pilgrimage and Day of Arafat, when Muslim pilgrims are expected make their way from Mina to a nearby hillside and plain called Mount Arafat and the Plain of Arafat to perform some Haji rites.
Mount Arafat is a granodiorite hill about 20 km (12 mi) southeast of Mecca in the plain of Arafat.
